Welcome to the next generation, where Linux won't have anything like ZFS for another decade...

You make BSD look like trash can. Is it your original goal? Congratulate you on achievement?

First - ZFS is Solaris exclusive and only ported to BSD.
Second - ZFS inferior to BTRFS in many operations.
Third - ZFS is different and for different scale, many complexities are excessive for different systems. ZFS is meant for datacenters.
Four - Linux has ZFS port, just as BSD.
Five - ZFS also had bugs. Its software.
Six - ZFS also has limitations.
Seven - ZFS developers very very rarely accept patches to improve its "desktop" usage. See (3).

The only fact is that ZFS is purposely not compatible to GPL.
Should ZFS have used GPL license, you would post "Welcome to next generation, where filesystems choose stupid license as usual" instead.

?Was that hard to even take a look at Wikipedia? Some other OS that have the porting underway are missing from there.

Please, back up your claims and dont make empty statements that revolves around "something" that isn't well stated and elaborated.
Thank you.

... FUSE-based, thus (technically) entirely different.

The FUSE port is not the only one ... http://zfsonlinux.org/
But if your ask me ... I wouldn't trust that piece of software yet.

I don't see any problem with desktop use. I actually like btfrs for what it provides me. My desktop does not run a server so, the exercise to create a DOS by hash collides is not something I will ever meet.
